Overview

A modern US ten-cent piece featuring the profile of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Historical significance

The Roosevelt dime was first released in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after his death, chosen because of his association with the March of Dimes.

Obverse (front)

A portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt facing left. Legends: 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', the year '2005', and the 'D' mint mark. Initials 'JS' for John Sinnock.

Reverse (back)

A torch, an olive branch, and an oak branch. Legends: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', and 'ONE DIME'.

Estimated value

$0.10 in circulated condition; $0.50-$2.00 in high Mint State (MS-65+)

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor. Fully struck torch details (Full Bands) carry premiums on uncirculated specimens.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated (XF-AU). Shows minor surface marks and slight circulation wear.

Mintage & rarity

Common. Mintage for the 2005-D was approximately 1.44 billion.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the copper core layer on the edge. Weights and dimensions are standardized; variations usually indicate a counterfeit or a different metal error.

Notable varieties & errors

No major varieties are widely recognized for 2005-D, though collectors look for broadstrikes or off-center strikes.

Similar coins

Silver Roosevelt dimes (1946-1964) look identical but have no copper-colored edge and weigh more (2.5g).

Care & preservation

Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid cleaning, as it can damage the surface and reduce value. Use PVC-free holders for long-term storage.
